"Are you… a researcher of some sort?" Tony asked Ning.
"No," Ning answered. "I just have the answers is all."
Tony stepped closer, no longer thinking of going back to the cabin to rest. "Tell me, what is going on? What is the real answer that you know?"
Ning thought for a minute and answered, "Do you believe in the existence of souls and reincarnations?" he asked.
"Soul? Do you mean like an afterlife? Some cultures have that I hear," Tony said. "Why do you ask?"
"No, this is completely different. I'm asking if you know about this because it is much easier to explain everything once you understand souls exist."
Ning started explaining how Zurin's treasures existed. While he didn't exactly tell them anything about Zurinus and what he had done to make the entire world believe in him, he mentioned everything about planetary wills and the presence of some different energy that humans could not exist.
